The engine

Under the hood

Final Fantasy XI still runs its own code. Underneath it we built a new renderer that speaks the game's language and gives it everything a modern graphics card has to offer.

The same game, on an engine that finally does it justice.

A renderer rebuilt for Final Fantasy XI: AMD FSR 3.1, sixty evenly paced frames, frame generation, HDR, a longer draw distance and more than 160 automated tests that keep it steady.

The Graphics menu: resolution, frame rate, frame generation and HDR

AMD FSR 3.1

FSR 3.1 smooths every edge out of the box, clean without the blur. TAA, FXAA, softened leaf and hair edges and up to three times supersampling are there if you want them.

Eight times the draw distance for the world and four times for characters, so hills and trees stop popping in at your feet.

And there is more

Render scale

Draw below your window size and let FSR bring it back up, Quality, Balanced or Performance, for more frames and a cooler, quieter graphics card.

Sixty frames, evenly paced

Frames land in step with your screen, capped at sixty or thirty. Fixing a stall in the game's own visibility checks cut nearly half the time every frame takes.

Frame generation

For high refresh rate screens: frames made between the game's own, predicted ahead so they add no input lag. Experimental, and off until you turn it on.

HDR

On HDR displays the sun, lit snow, glows and spells shine brighter than white paper, with brightness and highlight settings to match your screen.

Your look

Natural, Vivid or Cinematic to start, then saturation, contrast, warmth, vignette and sharpening to taste. Depth of field in cutscenes, motion blur and lens flare for those who want them.

Tested before every change

More than 160 automated render tests run before anything reaches you, including one that checks a still scene stays exactly still from frame to frame, so nothing flickers.

One launcher

One download installs the game, keeps it up to date, repairs it when something breaks and signs you in.
